Shelby Gibson owned the paint in Gainesville on Monday night, and it was one of the key reasons why Ole Miss snapped a 13-game road SEC losing streak that bled into three different seasons. The 16 point, six rebound performance was also enough to earn Gibson SEC freshman of the week honors for the second time this season.
It was a much-needed win for an Ole Miss team that has won back-to-back SEC games for the first time this season. The Rebels endured a rugged front end of their SEC schedule, dropping six of their first eight conference conference games.
